With the soaring success of Disney’s Big Hero 6, it was clear that audiences were certainly satisfied with their care. Now the film is set to become a brand-new television show set to air on Disney XD.
From Oh My Disney:
The series picks up immediately following the events in the film. Hiro is the newest prodigy at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, and he faces daunting academic challenges …. not to mention the social trials of being the little man on campus. Off campus, the stakes are raised for Big Hero 6 as they must protect their city from an array of scientifically enhanced villains.
The entire Big Hero 6 team — Hiro. Wasabi, Honey Lemon, Fred, Go Go, and, of course, Baymax — will be coming to a television screen near you in 2017.
UPDATE:
We have also learned that Emmy Award-winning producers Mark McCorkle and Bob Schooley, creators and executive producers of the global hit Disney Channel series Kim Possible, are the executive producers of this new series.
Marsh said, “Our colleagues at Walt Disney Animation Studios have created a brilliant new world, inspired by Marvel, with vivid, unique characters. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to further develop these characters into a world class animated series — full of fun, action and the kind of endearing storytelling that only Mark, Bob — and Baymax — can deliver.”
Reuniting with McCorkle and Schooley on the creative team is their Kim Possible colleague, Emmy Award-winning Nick Filippi, who serves as executive producer and supervising director.
